In fact,A.That's because touching changes their genes and,even werse,can slow their growth. Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation."The lightest touch from a human,or even plants touching each other in the wind,leads to a huge gene change in the plant." In order to test the idea,the scientists did an experiment on plants.They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks.Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.They found that as a result,the mitochondria (in the plants had been partly hurt.The mitochondria are the"powerhouse of the cell".The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.If this"powerhouse" is weakened,the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth.Whelan further explained,"If the touching is repeated,then plant growth is reduced by up to0 percent."According to Science Alert,repeated touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than others. Although the touching does have a strong effect on plants,it's not always bad.The researches believe,in some ways,it could be helpful.It may help plants fight against insects and bad weather.The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants'reply to touching.And the research might also"open up new ways to optimize (growth in the future."Science Alert reported. .34.Which of the following is the best for"A"in Paragraph 2? A.people like touching plants B.plants don't"like"to be touched C.plants won't grow if they are touched D.people should touch plants as much as possible 35.How many times did people touch the plants during the experiment? A.1. B.3. C.6. D.12. 36.The main purpose of the passage is to tell us A.to touch plants often to show our love B some ways of helping plants grow better C.advantages and disadvantages of touching plants D.the differences of touching the plants and the animals C Have you watched the recent TV series Three-Body?Adapted (from Liu Cixin's sci-fi book The Three-Body Problem,the show has impressed audiences wit池its splendid visual effects(枧觉特效).One of the most exciting scenes must be Operation Guzheng('古筝行动"). In order to find Trisolarans'(messages on a huge ship,a force plans to cut the ship into pieces. They set up many thin stnngs across the river,which are made from nanomaterial )Looking like guzheng,the strings quietly cut the steel ship into slices as if the ship was soft tofu! Is it possible to cut steel ships with thin strings in reality?In fact,strings are very good at cutting.For example,an egg slicer uses thin wires to cut eggs into slices.A kite line can easily hurt people if it gets tangled (around their necks.This is because the thin strings have a very small contact area,leading to a high intensity of pressure when they cut things. In the TV series,the strings are as thin as a tenth of a human hair.To cut the steel ship,the pressure needs to be200MPa(兆帕斯卡，压强单位)，according to the science website Guokr.How strong is that pressure?magine an elephant standing on a string!In reality,scientists won't be able to make such thin strings that wouldn't easily break,at least for years to come.The cutting will also create lots of heat.We don't have the material to bear the high temperature while it's also thin enough to cut through. But what we have today is called "water jet cutting ()"We can cut hard materials such as metal,stone, or glass using a high-pressure jet of water.The water's speed can reach 1000 meters per second (about three times the speed of sound),and the pressure can be over 400 MPa.However.the water jet can only cut things less than 20 centimeters thick.That's still far away from the nanotechnology in the show. 九年级英语试辔第4页共8页 37.What is the purpose of Operation Guzheng in the TV series? A.To find a huge ship. B.To hunt for Trisolarans. C.To discover Trisolarans'secrets. D.To develop nanomaterial. 38.How does Operation Guzheng get its name? A.Sounds of Guzheng are used as code. 'B.They use strings from Guzheng to contact. C.There are important messages hidden in a Guzheng. D.They use Guzheng-like strings to cut a steel ship. 39.Paragraph 3 is written to show_ A.how thin the strings can be B.how thin strings can be used to cut things C.that thin strings can only cut soft things D.what areas strings can be used in life 40.Why can't the "water jet cutting"be used for Operation Guzheng? A.Because it can't produce high enough pressure. B.Because it can't be used to cut metal. C.Because the ship is too thick for it to cut. D.Because the water's speed is too fast to control. D My first name was Philip,but when I was a small child,I could only say Pip.So Pip became my name.I lived in a small village with my sister,who married Joe,the village blacksmith ()My parents had died years ago,so I often went to vlsit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones).

"Blacksmith,you say?"And he looked down at his leg.Then he held me and looked down into my eyes. "Now look here.You bring me a file and some food to me tomorrow morning.If you don't,or if you tell anyone about me,I'll cut your heart out." "I promise I'll do it,sir,"my body was shaking. "You see,"he continued,"I travel with a friend,who likes eating boys'hearts.Whcrever you are,we'll find you.” As soon as he turned,I ran home as fast as I could. -Taken from Great Expectations 九年级英语试卷第5页共8页 41.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1?
